Christmas at Mimi's

Today, Ryan let me "sleep in" until 8:30am. He woke up and took care of Zac.We opened a few presents and then it was time to get ready for Mimi Donna's. Dinner was at noon and we enjoyed yummy Honey-Baked ham with all our favorite side dishes. I made spinach and artichoke dip. We actually opened presents first (the kids were too excited) then we ate. We all received great gifts, even the girls! Aunt Jenn, Uncle Rich, and Maddie got them 2 packages of diapers (the BEST presents ever!) and a cute pink picture frame that says "Twice Blessed." Aunt Carrie, Uncle Chuck and the kids got them very cute pink/brown onesies with matching pants and a set of receiving blankets. Mimi and Papa bought them the cutest sleep sacks with flowers on them, and pink hats to match. They are preemie sizes, they look like doll outfits! Mimi loved her "Mimi of Twins" canvas bag as did Papa and his "Papa of Twins" coffee mug. Of course Zac made out well with a ton of toys, movies, puzzles, and cute clothes from Baby Gap! Grandma Beth bought Ryan and I AMC movie passes! That also comes with a night of baby-sitting (or Zac spending the night) We haven't actually seen a movie in a theater, in I don't know how long! Dinner and a movie, what's that like? I told Ryan I get to pick the movie! I'm not sitting through or wasting my movie pass on some dumb comedy. He already suggested "Mall Cop" which comes out in January. I, of course ate too much. Hey, the girls were hungry, I can't deprive them of food, can I? For dessert I couldn't pass up Grandma Settle's banana cream pie and Aunt Carrie's sugar cookies.
